  1. Maintenance and Service
    Hello everyone! I know the kyb assemblies are back ordered and such but I did receive my front units so they are shipping them! Just takes a little bit. Still waiting on the rear. I initially installed Gabriel strut assemblies all the way around and I can't say enough bad things about them. I...
  2. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    Hello community, Hey there element forums! Im a bit newer to the game here but have been living in an 08 honda element for about 2 years now. My brother has installed BcRacing BR coilover system 40mm taller settup Swift springs upgrade 8kg/16kg stiffness a few years ago when the element was...
  3. Problems & Issues
    So my rear on my 04 EX has bad camber, looking like this: "/ \", I took it in and have to get new tires (well, only some of it is worn (the tops of the slanted in where it was rubbing...). They said new struts and upper control arms. I did research and from what I can tell, I just need to...
  4. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    Hi All, I have blown through 2 sets of strut mounts in as many years. The first were OEM, the 2nd were KYB. Currently using KYB struts. Anyone know of a more durable STRUT MOUNT? Also, considering a softer strut &/or spring given we’re mostly on dirt roads & running firm Goodrich All Terrain...
  5. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    I need to replace the front struts on my 04' element. RockAuto has several brands from cheaper to more expensive. FCS, Monroe, KYB and Gabriel. Just looking for a good original ride without killing the bank. What would y'all suggest? Thanks in advance.
  6. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    I am replacing my front struts with KYB Excel-G's, and I am wondering if I should swap out the coil springs while I am at it. Folks seem to comment about the rear springs sagging over time, and I am wondering if it is the same case with the fronts?
  7. Problems & Issues
    Good evening Element folks, I have a 2003 4WD EX 4 speed automatic with 107,000. It just started a serious wobble on straight aways. I checked boots, bushings, tie rods, control arms, nothing visible. I had Monroe OESpectrum struts and shocks installed by local mechanic at 87,000 in 2016, a...
  8. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    I'm new to the forum but have been happily searching EOC for many years. Finally bought an E of my own (two other family members have one). I have an 03 AT AWD - my intent is to lower it with the H&R sport springs but I was looking to try out CR-V front struts and 06 RSX rear struts. I would be...
  9. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    Hey all! I've read the exhaustive suspension setup pages (and pages!) and I'm not sure I've wrapped my head around all the options. I'm looking to lower the ride a bit, not slamming it, just sportifying it a bit! :) I'm on RockAuto as we speak, trying to get the best spring and strut setup for...
  10. Trading Post
    New rear struts for 2008 New never used. Car was totaled before I got a chance to put them in. My loss your gain. $150 plus shipping or free pick up. Located in Long Island NY. need gone ASAP. taking up room in my house.
  11. Problems & Issues
    hi , i have a 1995 element that makes a noise from underside front end.it seems to either be worn out shocks or some thing from the trans axil. it is a clunky sound that goes away when i excellerate and at crusing speed is gone.i cant see anything from under side that shows wear on the tie ends...
  12. Problems & Issues
    Four new struts, install went well, everything torqued to spec. Other than needing an alignment, my short drive felt pretty good as far as ride quality. BUT I still have the same annoying rattles in the front and rear. It's a 2010 with 165K. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any...
  13. Problems & Issues
    Getting ready to pull the trigger on these complete struts assemblies from 1A Auto. (We have 2 Elements, both with 165K on them.) They have great reviews and are only $250 for a pair. Any advice or warnings? Anybody using these? Would you recommend something else? Thanks, Jeff
  14. Problems & Issues
    Have owned my 2003 since 2006. Have just about 300k on it (297k and change). Recently (okay, for a year or more ?) had horrible crunch sounds going over bumps in the road, and my mechanic swapped out the front strut assemblies. That fixed the worst of it, but as I suspected -- and as was more...
  15. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    So I have done as much digging as I possibly can, short of physically comparing in person. I've checked here, CR-V forums, facebook groups, honda-tech....as much as I could. Has there ever been any consensus as to what suspension components from the 2nd gen CR-V swaps over with the Element? It...
  16. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    Could someone give me a quick list of the bushings (both rear and front) that can cause clunking when they are worn? I am not sure if it is the struts or the bushings, but I might as well go the cheap route first.
  17. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    2008 LX I have read a lot of posts and haven't seen an answer yet. I want to order quick strut/complete strut assembly on-line. Rock Auto has only the backs unless you want Unity struts up front - they get terrible reviews. Monroe is a good idea, but they don't make the fronts for 2008 either...
  18. Maintenance and Service
    116,000 miles on my 2005 Element. Just replaced both rear strut assemblies due to one leaking fluid and need to get an alignment. However, front right strut mount is squeaking but otherwise both struts are in good shape. Debating whether to replace just strut mount (about $130 for both sides...

    These are brand new Monroe Strut-Mate mount assemblies. They are part numbers: 906919 and 906920. I got them for my 2005 Element (decided to go with complete struts), they seem to be listed as a replacement part for all models of E's but please be absolutely sure of the part number you need if...
  20. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    I just got my 2003 Element DX back from the Dealership, where they replaced the front strut assembly. Now, the steering wheel is turned about 1/8 of the way around counterclockwise. I'm pretty sure I would have noticed that problem before bringing the car in, so I think it's new since the...
